You are going to movies friday night (not a matinee). which of the theaters will cost the least, if you intend to have soda and popcorn? theater a theater b theater c adults $6.25 $7.25 $5.25 children $3.50 $3.75 $4.25 soda $2.00 $2.00 $2.50 popcorn $2.50 $2.00 $2.50

First we rewrite the table:

theater a theater b theater c

adults $ 6.25 $ 7.25 $ 5.25

children $ 3.50 $ 3.75 $ 4.25

soda $ 2.00 $ 2.00 $ 2.50

popcorn $ 2.50 $ 2.00 $ 2.50

We observe that the prices of soda and popcorn are the same regardless of the theater.

Therefore, the price of tickets is the one that must be taken into consideration when going to the theater.

The cheapest tickets can be found in theater C (assuming an adult and a child go)

Answer:

theater C
